I'm not sure what the best part of this episode ways, the .gifs or the nightmarish in-betweens

>>85909
>Dat scene

Spectacular.

I love that assistant to Rainbow bitches design.

>>85910
The best part was obviously Nonon's cute little butt.

Does anyone know if there's an up-to-date version of that glorious, glorious gaijin 4koma series? The latest I've seen only goes up to episode 5.

Also, oh my god, Mako/Gamagoori, amirite?

So do you think we'll get some actual killing (no pun) done in this show now that she doesn't need Satsuki to tell her jack about who murdered her father?

>>85917
Didn't Gamagoori kill the one guy who stole a one-star uniform? His corpse was hanging in front of the school when Ryuuko go there.

And I doubt Ryuuko will manage to kill this new girl. The gripe with her is so personal that she'll probably end up being a recurring antagonist in the second half of the show.

Since she's (ostensibly) the revenge target and wields the same weapon, she'll probably either be the 2nd to last to go down (so Ryuko gets the full scissor set before taking out Satsuki's mom) or the very last (Ryuko vs her in the crumbling Revoks HQ).

>>85920
Man, it should be OBVIOUS that to accomplish the true Scissors work you need two ladies working together.

>>85921
I'd rather Satsuki keep using her sword.

There is nothing about this episode I don't like.

I expect Nui'll replace Nonon for most of the yuri doujins. :I Fah! As for the other scissor, the color and design is different from Ryuko's. While having a mis-matched pair would be nothing new to anime, I think the scissor is a different one and Nui pulled it out and claimed she was the killer to get Ryuko to berserk and hold nothing back. Ryuko will win, and with the final blow will find out that Nui is not her father's killer, nor is that the proper half. As Grand Couturier (which is a term for a private tailor-slash-designer, apparently), I would expect her to have scissors on her at all times, like Inamuta has his laptop.

So the shit has certainly hit the fan, but I think there's more shit and a larger fan ahead. I am kind of disappointed that we didn't get a Round 3 with Sanageyama, though.

Damn I can't wait for the OST to come out. That track when Ragyo emerges from the bath is amazing, as is the Nui's theme, or whatever that is playing at the end when Matoi goes apeshit.

This show is every kind of awesome.

>>85925
Just like the second half of Tiger & Bunny.

>>85925
>>85920
Speaking of dads, I wonder what Satsuki's dad is like. Or if he's still alive. Hopefully he's not Ryuuko's dad. That'd be lame.

>>85924
I got you, the thing is that's also legit speculation in this show.

>>85925
>I am kind of disappointed that we didn't get a Round 3 with Sanageyama, though.

Same. Then again, I absolutely adore Satsuki and the Elite 4, so I really don't want to see them go.

>>85932

I mean just look at these precious babbies

>Assuming they'll be done and not team up

tsk tsk

Yeah Satsuki's rebellion against her mom's kind of inevitable.

I wonder if Satsuki or her mother's money will even bother repairing the school after next episode's Gotterdamerung.

>>85935
Especially since everything leading up to this point looks like it was just to make Ryuuko stronger.

>>85934
I imagine the Elite 4 will all get newly-made half-star uniforms, and they combine with Satsuki to form Voltron.

>>85938
Annnnd now I'm imagining them formed up, with Sanageyama as the body sitting on Gamagoori; Nonon clinging his right arm (head at his hand), Inamuta on the other (same), and Satsuki on his head. Call it Regalia Shiva.

>>85939
"REGALIA SHIVA!"

"REGALIA SHIVA!"

Also also
>>85915
>Mako gets worked up, stands on Gamagoori to shout at Ryoko
>Realizes where she is
>Freaks out
>Because she's worried about making Gamagoori mad, not because he could look up her skirt
>Even after seeing him fight
This definitely is not just like one of my Japanese animes.

>>85941

That kind of makes me wish Gama was in a generic harem animu, just to see him go off on a loud and self-rightcious tirade when some girl inevitiablly calls him a baka pervert for seeing her pantsu.

Japan is shipping these two hard.

>>85943
I am okay with this.

>>85944
They do make an adorable odd couple, truth be told.

>>85945
Most couples with extreme size difference do.

Surprised none of you noticed the similarities between Gama's perfect-student mold and Mako, to be honest.

>>85946
Hm.

>>85948
Also good.

>>85947

...

I'm surprised that I didn't notice it either now that you've pointed it out.

>>85942
Now I'm imagining an alternate-universe spin-off where Gamagoori lands the job as "Headmistress" of the girls' dormitory at Honnouji Boarding Academy, a prestigious school for those advancing in the business world. Satsuki is there because of her mother, Nonon is in under a musical scholarship, and Mako got in because of a computer error. Series opens with Ryuko wandering onto campus and being challenged by Mako, who is trying to distract people from the computer error (her monthly stipend, given to all students, is sent to her parents) and prove she is "Honnouji material" by taking care of the "street ruffian" who "broke in." She loses, of course, but since no one saw she offers to help Ryuko stay on campus in exchange for not telling anyone she lost.

Gamagoori spends the series trying to figure out why he's the Headmistress, chasing down Mako and trying to make her a lady, prove that Ryuko doesn't belong and kick her out for good, and deferring to Satsuki when she's involved. When he's not beating himself with whips. None of the girls have any affection for him, nor he they, it's just about the antics.

You could kill two birds with one stone by having them form an inverse sentai team (which is often seen with four males and a female) based around school uniforms (which, here, are fairly standard affairs, and not their personal clothing as seen in KLK.)

>>85951
>Gamagoori spends the series trying to figure out why he's the Headmistress, chasing down Mako and trying to make her a lady, prove that Ryuko doesn't belong and kick her out for good, and deferring to Satsuki when she's involved.

Reminds me of Garterbelt somewhat.

>>85953
There are a lot of similarities between them, but Garterbelt isn't nearly as stalwart as Gamagoori.

I just realized the scars on her back resemble Goku uniform stars.

>>85957
Here's hoping the fight with her life fibre form lasts more than 3 minutes:

Simon VS Lord Genome (Gurren Lagann)

Cause that was some bullshit.

>>85960
the lord genome fight is great, what are you talking about

also it lasted for seven minutes and i think that's a good length, i don't like it when battles last for the entire episode

>>85960
BY your logic, Naruto is the best anime ever made because the fight against Whoever-the-fuck Uchiha (I seriously can't even remember his name) has lasted roughly 110 episodes and will probably last that much more.

Quality>Quantity.

While I'm not a big fan of the "Kill la Kill is saving anime" meme, but you're exactly the kind of person Kill la Kill came to save anime from. Overlong horseshit shonen battles are the goddamn cancer eating anime from within. I don't give a shit about "Man of Steel" levels of destruction porn unless they serve to forward the story in a meaningful way. Because that's what's important; Story and characters. And the battles should be nothing more and nothing less than a way to advance those two things. If you start making your battles more important to the story than the actual story, you wind up with Naruto, Bleach and DBZ.

Is the really what you want with Kill la Kill?

>>85971
Slow down there, dude. A guy says he likes longer fight scenes in action anime and you go straight into personal attacks and call him the problem with the whole anime industry? Don't you think there might be a more reasonable middle-ground here that can be reached without making enemies?

>>85972
In my defense, I', farily drunk right now. and have been since around noonish or so.
So, there;s that.

>>85971
These characters aren't meant to be deep, just broad with a defining quirk that implies depth. The story's not much to write home about either besides the clothing gimmick. Remember how much of a drag Gurren Lagann was when the second arc began? It took them fucking forever to get into space and get into the galactic skirmishes. That's one of the reasons that the badass movie version is superior. All that time spent on chatter could've been spent on refining the action, making it more elegant and robust, free from plot holes, filler and inconsistencies that could break audience immersion. Sloppily done action is why the spectacles in Man of Steel were so incompetent, it's idiotic ambitions to appear "real" despite how fantastic the concept of Superman is, mired the venture with confused tones and haughty conceits, killing the energy and heroism even when something was actually happening. I don't want episodes of stalling like those adaptations keep shoving down viewer's throats, I want things to get to the point. But a battle under ten minutes for a mid-series finale after all that build-up is bound to underwhelm.

I wonder if we'll ever see someone with a low rank uniform take out a high rank uniform without the aid of the alloys that Ryuuko, Satsuki, Nudist Beach and Nui use.

>>85976

Wow that sure is a lot of wrong statements about Gurren Lagann.

>>85978
Even the statement about Man of Steel is wrong--that movie was bad because they didn't understand the rules of plotting, not because of how the action scenes were handled--the action scenes were actually pretty well done.

>>85979
The problem with them stems from length, like Obi-Wan versus Anakin or King Kong's running from everything scene or the Jungle scene in Idiana Jones 4.

Just constant action yet nothing is actually happening for WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to long. Fucking Man of Steel was terrible holy shit.

Remember this?!

If you haven't, take a look while playing "Sorairo Days", "Yellow Line", or something from KLK itself.

Wow, I've really gotta stay off the Internet while drinking. Jesus Christ.

welp...

>>85992
HA HA YES, Kill La Kill: Something for everyone.

>>85993
Well, I doubt people who are into girly bishi boys will get something out of it. The closest thing it's got is Inumuta and he's... well...

>>85994
What're you trying to say about my Monsoon?

>>85994
He's the closest we'll get to male Goku nudity, what with the skin tight uniform and all.

So place your bets.

What do you think is going to go down tomorrow?

>>85998
Ryuuko might lose Senketsu for an episode or so.

>>85933
The most precious of babbies.

>>85998
Life Fiber bullet is shot at Nui instead, it does nothing or makes her more powerful, Ryuuko gets her ass kicked, and either Satsuki or Rainbow Bitches steps in at the last moment to save her life and take Senketsu (>>85999).

(Complete speculation) However, since Ryuuko defeated the E4, she is now part of the E4 herself (Inamuta gets relegated to a 2-star) and finally learns some truths in addition to getting a 3-star uniform.

>>86001
Thinking about it from Nudest Beaches' perspective they seem to think of Senketsu is the greater danger even in light Nui's appearance because as a Anti-Kiryūin organization they would already know about Nui yet Mikisugi still seems to prioritize Senketsu as a bigger threat than the threat his organization was created to stop.

My guess is Nui is actually the one in over her head and she'll kick Ryuko around for a while taunting her with her Dad's death which pushes to evolve Senketsu even further to the point that they go full "Venom" with no control, Nui gets scared and reveals the truth which stops them in their tracks just long enough to get shot, then some crazy shit I can't predict for about three minutes leading to a cliff hanger for the week.

>>86002
Well, I was closer than I figured I'd be.

>>86009
Yeah. Good call, mang.

Favorite shot in the entire episode because of how goshdarn cute Nonon is in it. Just look at her!

I honestly wasn't expecting Nui to actually be the legitimate killer of Ryuuko's Father. But I totally called the "EVA UNIT 01 HAS GONE BERSERK!" moment though.

A ton of new mysteries have been added on top of the original unanswered ones. What IS Nui and why is she so OP? What is REVOCS doing or gonna do? Who was that douchebag in the preview?

I think we can all agree the most important thing is....FEILD TRIP ARC!!!

I hope it's as retarded as Beelzebub's was.

>>86013
I don't think anything will ever be as stupid as Beelzebub's field trip arc.

>>86013
I hope some of those schools provide a legitimate challenge for Satsuki and her forces. Maybe even stand an outright fighting chance and knock her down a peg or two.

>>86015
I know it's unlikely to happen, but I'd love to see the Devas working as a team. They've got such a great group dynamic, and just imagining them bickering and being bros in the heat of battle...

Whelp, that was pretty awesome, although I was completely wrong in what I thought would happen...

>>86015
It's been hinted that Hokkaido is a legitimate problem for them for whatever reason.

Is she actually going to kill anyone? The series is halfway finished and Gangurogoori has a higher body count than her. Simon had all ready killed dozens, if not hundreds, of sentient beings at this point of his show.

I get the pun, yeah, but when's Ryuuko gonna do something lethal to her foes? Letting the Devas live is going to bite her in the ass now, as Satsuki's going to give them new uniforms with which to beat her up with again.

>>86030
Nui is probably going to have to die at some point. Whether that's going to be by Ryuko's hand or not though, who knows.

Also, I don't want Satsuki or her cronies to die. Jazukure is the only one who doesn't seem to have a good bone in her body.

Nice disguise, Maiko-kun. But you can't fool people with too much time on their hands!

>>86030
Well, most of her opponents were either not worth the effort to kill, or I like them too much to want them to die (except maybe pink hair musician girl, but if she had a less obnoxious voice I wouldn't mind her staying on).

>>86042
Also, wow, people (mainly /a/) do no like prospect of romance happening in cour 2.

>>86047
People on 4chan have a kneejerk to romantic plots regardless of the compatibility of the characters participating, the appropriateness to the story, the intended message of the pairing, or even the necessity to the plots. They probably complained about FE:A having romance in it, despite being absolutely necessary to the central conceit.

4chan is very prone to focusing on tangible details at the expense of any real understanding of storytelling, and basing their complaints on that. They see badly written stories that have romantic subplots, and so they tell themselves that the romantic subplots are the reason the stories were bad.

This comes from 4chan's collective belief that they actually have some level of expertise at critical theory, and in their ability to determine why a show does or doesn't work. They do not. They are only able to tell that something doesn't work, and even when they do that, they tend to circlejerk it into being much worse than it actually is because of how much positive feedback they get from complaining about things.

4chan can be great for finding new things that ARE good, because if even 4chan has trouble finding bad things to say about something, it's probably excellent. But for determining what's actually bad, it's a crapshoot.

tl;dr: Do not ever listen to 4chan about what should be changed to make a story work, which subplots to avoid, or why a story doesn't work.

>>86047
Well to be frank I don't think Kill la Kill seems like the kind of series it would work well for, unless it's a minor thing that's mostly milked for humor. I'm lukewarm on Ryuuko/Mako since it still seems pretty one-sided to me but I definitely think her/Hot Teacher is a bad idea though since the age difference is pretty icky, unless he's really actually only like 18 or something.

>>86049
It's possible 4Chan's acting way out of bounds over it, but distaste for romantic subplots is not an unusual sentiment, and I think it has less to do with elitism and more the fact that a lot of them are <i>really fucking bad</i>. See: most of the newer Gundams/Inuyasha/any harem anime/etc.

>>86054
Again, you're focusing on tangible details rather than recognizing the actual source of the problem with those subplots. It is not about elitism. It is about the Dunning–Kruger effect as it applied to skill at criticism.

Essentially, they are BAD CRITICS who think they are COMPETENT CRITICS. Their opinions that the plots didn't work are valid, but their understanding of WHY they didn't work are laughable.

>>86052
>that badly synced rap
>I WANNA KNOW WHO KILLED MY DAD
What, goddamnit the full version of that song sounds awful. Not helping that David Whitaker (?) is a pretty terrible rapper and an even worse lyricist.

>>86054
Nia was all right. Even if I did hate her voice.

>>86056
I didn't mind the rap but "I WANNA KNOW WHO KILLED MY DAD" part is kind of weird (Ryuuko, you're not in a disney film) and rap spliced into the final refrain is awkward. Beside that, i thought it was a pretty cool song.

I'd like this OST more if the songs were split up. For a lot of these tracks it feels like they took two or three unrelated songs and played them back to back, but keep them as one track for whatever reason.

>>86061
That's just how Sawano rolls man. It was the same with Shingeki's OST and I'm pretty sure several of his previous ones too.

>>86056
>>86059
I am a card carrying rap hater, to Tiki's frustration, but I love the full version of Before My Body Is Dry. It's so perfectly dumb.

Blumenkranz and light your heart up are the stars of the show here though.

>>86068
Ro-Ro-Ro-Ra-Rodyle, Stop hatin' rap!

I honestly dont mind the rap and the I GOTTA FIND OUT WHO KILLED MY DAD

But the last chorus where they smash the rap and other lines together just sound crappy.

>>86068
>not liking rap in anime
So much shit taste.

Every time I hear "how bout my deep secret" or whatever she's saying my mind keeps filling the blank with "hop on my dick" instead.

>>86070
I think my problem with the lyrics is that they're so out-and-about; I would expect something coy or more "in passing" than straight up "gonna get revenge for mah dad!"

Then again, KLK is not a show with subtlety, so in that frame the lyrics fit.

>06. 鬼龍G@キLL
I literally cannot stop cumming.

>>86071
It's actually that I hate rap in general, but that aside:

So yeah the OST's alright. Songs I was looking for turned out well, the combo song thing sucks though. It's not as good as TTGL and P&S' were, but Suwano isn't as good a composer as Iwasaki and Takahashi so that's not shocking.

This cannot be

our destiny

>>86078
Are... are they making a porn parody of KLK? If so, i find it more appropriate than SnK.

Since we're probably going to talk about the ost until the next episode happens or something, I think the ost is growing on me the more i listen to it. The instrumental stuff is definitely pretty cool. While i'm a little disappointed with the second half of Before my Body is Dry, i can't stop listening to it.

>>86078
They should have casted with a skinnier and better toned man. He does not even compare...

>>86080
You obviously don't know about Goro.

>>86081
But the guy in the KLK set isn't Goro.

>>86082
Ok. Fine. You caught me. I just wanted to post the big Goro image I posted earlier.

>later killer silhouettes looks like Satsuki for a red herring
>she's the one who ordered Nui to attack the Matois.

Quite a ruse.

>Cures Rossetta and Muse on that set.
Heh.

Drakengard?

DRAKENGARD!

Finally had a listen to the OST, as well. Suck Your Blood is best song, closely followed by Nonon's theme (second half of gorILLA jaL). Blumenkranz is boring as fuck and I don't get people's obsession with it.

So.

Someone made an entire album of Linkin Park and Psy's Gagnam Style mashups. It's legitimately well done and hilarious.

The last song in the album has Kill la Kill. Complete with "I gotta find out who killed my dad~~"

Oh my god.

Losing Me Your Way

>>86166
You're right, this awful thing has been very skillfully put together.
>"I gotta find out who killed my dad~~"
...Oh god, I never realized that lyric was English. That's hilarious.

I initially passed Suck Your Blood the first time around, but after hearing it the whole way through I quite like it.

Jump up, half-naked, good looking...

>>86047
Maybe he and Ryuuko will have a "Kung-Fu Love" kind of thing going on:

Amazing Nuts - Kung Fu Love (Full ver.)

Minus the bad end, maybe.

(Someone asked if they should be watching this show, this was my response.)

I wasn't sure what to make of it for a while, but it actually breaks down pretty simply.

Kill la Kill is wonderfully creative and energetic, with top-notch art style and music.

It has really strong females (in the "well-defined character" sense, though the "power level" sense fits too!) in the roles of protagonist, primary antagonist+authority figure, and a really wonderful supportive-friend-of-protagonist for good measure. This, I will call "priority 1."

It also has reoccurring skeezy-ass fanservice of those particular female characters. This, I will call "priority 2."

Priority 1 is legitimately much more important to the studio than Priority 2, and that counts for a LOT. The fanservice never compromises anyone's characterization, and I do not say this lightly. It's also done in a very self aware, tongue-in-cheek fashion (including brief moments of male fanservice as a kind of nod & wink).

But it's still THERE, and I wish it wasn't. You still have these blatant ass & chest shots in what would otherwise be a really exciting Gurren Lagann-esque faceoff. Is it sexist? No, in the same way porn aimed at a male audience can avoid being sexist. But it often hinders the *story*, by reducing the level of drama and excitement.

>>86215
One of my favorite fanservice + character moments is Ryoko snapping her suspenders like "Well fuck it I may as well role with, it has weirdly enough saved me."

I'll never get how people are so utterly perturbed by a bit of boobs and butts. I guess it's an American thing.

>>86217
Puritan North American hold over, fucking disgusting but you learn to deal, you just wish we'd shut the fuck up about it.

The sin of the Kamui forms has never been that they show tits. It's that they look fucking stupid. And not a good kind of stpid like Gama's transformation. A transformation should always be either cooler than the untransformed state or funnier. The Kamui are neither. It's not funny that they show boobs, and the regular seifuku forms are much cooler.

>>86220
Yeah, this. Costumes that only reveal a moderate amount of skin (like their untransformed Kamui) are still way sexier than wildly stripperiffic costumes that show off a ton of body but also look unbelievably retarded. The Soul Calibur series after 2 being a great example of the latter.

I don't care how great Ryuuko and Satsuki's tits n' ass might be, their Transformed costumes are so stupid looking and tryhard-sexy that I just can't find it appealing unless they're in something saner.

>>86218
Actually most of the people I see getting outraged about it are feminists who are upset about it being objectifying and degrading, not the oversensitive types who think it's corrupting the chilluns. Though I think it's still a bit petty of them to dismiss the entire series as misogynistic schlock considering it's hardly as bad as it comes off on the surface and the show has just about everything else they've been clamoring for, as Dagda pointed out in >>86215.

>>86223
Agreed; regardless if you think they have a point or not, an aversion towards sex is very much not the motivation of those critics.

>>86223
>it's hardly as bad as it comes off on the surface
That doesn't make the surface not an issue. Though of course I still think that >>86220
is the biggest overarching issue now that we seem to have left the shithouse pacing behind. Untransformed Sun and Jun look fucking boss, the moment they transform that flies out the window.

>>86220
I kind of aggree. the nudity isn't bad per see, but the costumes looks are definitely not the best designed thing ever. They are designed like Wow armors, all in the shoulders, nothing else. And it's really really bad.

I think what bugs ME in particular is that the Kamui suits COULD WORK. There's POTENTIAL with that design to be both stylish AND sexy!

They just need to fucking drop the exposed midrift, underboob and make the skirts a BIT longer. That's all!

Hell the midsections could basically be PAINTED ON for all I care and it'd still feel much more like a legitimate battle costume /transformation than the shit they actually are.

I wish there was a good term for the kind of costumes they are because I just can't think of one. Calling them Fanservice is accurate but it's also somewhat missing the point, it's not just that it's pandering to the male gaze it's that it's going about it in the most blatant and childishly stupid way imaginable.

Calling it misogynistic is likewise somewhat accurate but a bit too strong a word as it also implies the creators created the suits out of some dark and twisted ideology of hatred (at least if we go with what the term misogynistic is OFTEN used for) which isn't the case either. They just made something that's pandering to men and looks stupid on top of it. Yea it's probably born out of wrongheaded ideas about how women should look in entertainment but you don't need to have women dress in bootcamp overcoats to avoid people decrying sexism. Sailor Moon fights her villains in a miniskirt and highheels and nobody decries her as a symbol of male oppression (at least not with enough presence to be noticeable). And hell Toon Starfire is often times considered LEAGUES better in terms of clothing from a feminist standpoint than her comicbook counterpart, and she still has an exposed bellybutton.

I guess what I'm saying is that: a lot of times I think women just want their characters to look STYLISH and GOOD in their costumes. And far too often things like style and aesthetics are thrown out the window for the express purpose of making them look sexual in a way that's as subtle as a giant bullet train dildo going into a reddish pink painted tunnel with two hills on both sides.

And this is generally a problem that male characters DON'T face because... well... style and aesthetics takes precedence over sexiness in general with them.

>>86228
No, the nudity is needed, it's part of the concept of the show.

>>86229

>the nudity is needed, it's part of the concept of the show.

That's a bullshit defense and you know it.

If that argument could hold any water then all harem anime and moe shows would automatically get a free pass cause "Hey man! That's just the show's concept!"

In fact Kill la Kill has even LESS EXCUSE than those shows because it's premise is that uniforms have power and are tools of anarchy/ oppression. It could've EASILY gone with that and actually given its heroines clothing that actually looks good and accentuates their beauty rather than blatantly beating you over the head with OMG PARTIAL NUDITY.

It's wasted potential pure and simple.

>>86230
>then all harem anime and moe shows would automatically get a free pass
A free pass in what? In you not liking them? Because as a matter of fact, they would indeed fall apart without the, admittedly tired, concept.

>>86231

>In you not liking them?

No in them being shameless and pandering shlock that fail at being sexy to all but the most juvenile people who think with their dick.

And frankly the fact that the only defense you can muster for this element being in kill la kill is to lower it down to the level OF those anime kinda speaks for itself.

>>86232
Jesus Christ, get off your fucking high horse, lady.

>>86230

Kill la Kill revels in being controversial, in pushing past the limits of good taste. I mean, there's a dude whose entire power set is based on bondage play, for Pete's sake. I'm not going to say people can't be offended by it, because in all honesty I think that's what they're going for here. However, telling the creators that they need to remove this element they've chosen from their show because it offends your sensibilities strikes me as an attempt at the same kind of peer-pressure censorship that soccer moms attempt on violent video games, and that's deplorable. Be offended all you want, but don't advocate for censorship of what offends you.

Nudity actually is a super central point of the show though, I mean that's the entire point of "Nudest Beach" They are literally an organization of nudists.

If I remember right the show is actually based on some pun about oppression and clothing being similar words in Japan.

As far as the God Robe's are concerned yeah, nudity is a big deal on those because as they say you are accepting your own body and the God robe as part of it in a kind of self love and acceptance message and I kinda thought that was really beautiful.

Like I get the complaints about raunchiness or just not liking how it looks but self-love is a wonderful message that I think trumps that.

>>86233

Not a woman... dunno why you'd assume that.

>>86234

>Kill la Kill revels in being controversial, in pushing past the limits of good taste.

See the thing is. Panty and Stocking did the same thing. And I was more okay with it there.

Why? Cause well... PSwG was crazy madcap silliness through and through. It took the craziness and stupidity up to 11 and beyond! It had Shit Monsters, Sagging Tit Cream monsters, Fucking Transformers and silly crap on top of silly crap. I was okay with them being raunchy and shit there cause it felt like they were intentionally being cheeky about the whole thing.

KlK on the other hand always rubbed me like it WANTS TO BE MORE. Like it WANTS TO BE as epic as Gurren Lagann was but ALSO have PSwG's humor and in-your-face attitude and it just turns into a huge mess.

Also censorship? No. I don't think the show should've been done differently because I'M offended. Hell I'm the demographic this show's TARGETING. I think it should've been done different because then I think it would've been A BETTER SHOW.

>>86236
>it just turns into a huge mess.

I'm not trying to be a jerk here but I'm going to be.

I'm so glad your opinion amounts to jack shit.

>>86235

See again: if they were going for THAT? I think a less... hyper sexual style would've helped. Or at least having characters who undress of a less than conventional standard of beauty.

IDK I feel like this is becoming the Sucker Punch of anime. Where whatever positive message you can take from it gets kinda lost in a less than stellar execution.

>>86237

You could try to post an example WHY my opinion means nothing rather than just saying it is and leaving it at that...

Like I mean the only reason I can see someone doing that is to get the last word in an argument which is kinda low, dude.

>>86237
Fantastic argument Tiki.

>>86234
>Kill la Kill revels in being controversial, in pushing past the limits of good taste.
This doesn't justify that the Kamui don't look funny, cool, or even really sexy. They fail on every level they possibly could fail on.

>>86236
>KlK on the other hand always rubbed me like it WANTS TO BE MORE.
Really? Because what I got out of it was it wants to be a deconstruction of Magical Girl tropes, much in the way Gurren Lagaan was a deconstruction of hot-blooded mecha animes. These creators have always struck me as people going for Parody first, epic saga second. And to be honest, I think Kill La Kill succeeds in that. It's funny and exciting, it has a great cast of outrageous characters and dynamic action. I don't want anything watered down to make it more "socially acceptable" because I feel that once you start down that road, it's difficult to know where to stop until you end up with bland, derivative, pandering-to-the-lowest-common-demoninator media. I just enjoy and accept the anime for what it is.

>>86242
>This doesn't justify that the Kamui don't look funny, cool, or even really sexy. They fail on every level they possibly could fail on.

And it's my opinion that your opinion is dogshit.

Aren't opinions great? Thanks for contributing, Rodyle.

>>86239
Tiki's always been the lowest bar on this board, dude. Don't even worry about it.

>>86237
Hey, and so does yours. Funny how that works.

(That said, the fact that criticism of this show makes people whip out the patronizing "lady" comments is kind of shitty.)

>>86243
You're getting way too angry about this.

>>86246
This is also a bad thing, yes.

I do kind of get where the one guy is coming from. The initial assessment of the show being about Feminimity and Growing Up and sexuality isn't problematic, but as the show goes on it feels like those themes slip away a bit to make room for the crazy and the whatever. The uniforms are not all sexy, and I think one even turned a guy into a car. It feels like some of the themes are ignored just to have craziness and fanservice, when they should really be kind of an exploration of fanservice.

>>86230
but it's true. Trigger made a show that exagerate all aspect of the medium so the nudity is part of it. Of course, if your only contact with animay is toonami and /a/ you are not really the target to "get it", but hey, you aren't even the target audience then.

Satsuki's kamui is pretty shit. I like Ryuuko's for the mecha aspects and any outfit with silly red suspenders is fun, but I'm not gonna say it's great because of the fanservice. Satsuki's is fanservicey but also boring, and that's the real crime. The whole "it's about using your body to gain power so it doesn't matter" bit also probably shouldn't be touted as the right message, considering the characters in-show have touted that as bullshit and Satsuki can't actually handle her Godrobe that well.

>>86239
Sorry, I just mean I'm really enjoying the anime and so I'm glad that people's negative opinions of it don't affect it.

Instead I should have done was asking you where you'd go with it instead of just shitting straight out on you because I didn't immediately agree with you.

>>86238
I dunno man, I feel like if you tried to go that route with these creators you'd end up with something like Oda's transsexuals.

>>86242
>>86245
Yes, super dogshit of me, I apologize and won't do that again.

>>86246
AND I'M SO GLAD, LIKE I HONESTLY CANNOT UNDERSTATE HOW GLAD I AM FOR THAT.

But yes, that's real bad.

Neat.

>>86254
I actually like Junketsu better, opposition characters are difficult to design and his works as a great opposition of "new hotness" to Senketsu's "old busted" look.

The last time I remember looking at a polar opposite character and thinking "This is everything they aren't" right down to the design was Redeemer and unfortunately Spawn is garbage (maybe I'm reminded because both series are the same color palettes and involve living clothes.)

Either way I hope we get to see some of Junketsu's personality, I'm just so interested what his relationship to Satsuki is.

>>86258
He...reminds me of Zetman.

>>86259
Considering Senketsu's calm and collected demeanor vs. Ryuko initial spastic nature, and that Satuski had to "tame" it, I'm guessing that Junketsu is basically Chunk from Panty & Stocking.

What I'm interested in is if Senketsu and Junketsu can talk to each other and, if so, if their wearers can hear the other's uniform as well.

>>86261
Senketsu was just as spastic when he and Ryuuko first met. Satsuki dominating Junketsu to control it is more of a commentary on her than it is him: in that sense we haven't really seen anything about Junketsu yet. It's actually quite strange that he has't talked at all, even when trying to get itself worn.

I kind of feel that Junketsu might not have a proper persona, even when Senketsu was putting himself on he spoke, even if it was just crazy talk. Junketsu on the other hand needs to be nailed to the wall and spends his time growling and screeching.

>>86264
I think it does, given the lyrics of "I want to know" sound like they're from Satsuki to Junketsu.

>>86238
> I think a less...

so, aside from you little feelings, there's no arguments.

>>86280
Your hypersensitivity towards any criticism really doesn't work in your favor, bro.

>>86235
I'm downe with that. I just find that Ryuuko having to be forced into wanting to be sexy near the start of the show to be a bit suspect. People can be lewd if they want to, but forcing more prudish people into that mindset is about as bad as the reverse.

> forced into wanting to be sexy

But that's not what happened, accepting your body is miles away from "being sexy".

>>86321
It's not "accepting your body", though, it's "accepting that you're showing off your body", which is more-or-less the next level to defeat of self-consciousness.

>>86322
yeah, no. What sort of logic is that? You think someone being ok with showing a midgriff and undertits is just on its slippery sloppe to poledance for money ror something? That's the fucking opposite. She has to deal that her appearance is not a big deal and she shouldn't care.

>>86324
The show itself treats it as a big deal, so I don't know what your point is trying to be. Ryuuko had to accept her situation and Senketsu to get his real power and cooperation, but that doesn't mean the outfit isn't a bit skeezy or that she should call herself an exhibitionist. Seriously, you people keep arguing for KlK in ways that the show itself acknowledges is bullshit. Those first two episodes have problems, and the third episode clumsily handles the message it's trying to get across because it's the third episode and of course things aren't going to be resolved that simply.

>>86324
Huh? I'm pretty sure they were saying the opposite, that while it's not actually about self-acceptance that it's the next closest thing.

I just realized that Mako's various speeches are going to really test the translator: not only does s/he have to match up words to mouth movements while being as faithful to the original script as possible, but now they have to match up the words to her menagerie of body language during those speeches, as well.

>>86263
>Senketsu was just as spastic when he and Ryuuko first met
That's likely because he hadn't been "fed" in some time, if ever, so when he got a taste of her blood he went crazy like any starving person might at the sight of food. After he got that initial feeding he went to his calm and collected self.

Junketsu was likely the same way (because we know it had been locked away for some time) but the fact that it didn't calm down after Satsuki put it on means Junketsu has a very different personality. It might not even be Chunk, it could be that of an intelligent junkie, driven by the urge to drink Satsuki's blood constantly and cunning when it does so but otherwise devolves into the spitting/gnashing version we've seen.

>show about accepting yourself
>the only way to win is by having better clothes than the opposition
>even the resistance movement that opposes them, knows that it needs life fiber uniforms to accomplish their aims

Well shit.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2014-01-06/mangaka-suggests-kill-la-kill-may-be-plagiarized

>>86331
The second guy has the right of it--plagiarism doesn't work that way. They have written a story that hits a lot of the same points and uses a lot of the same ideas. Maybe they based it on the original, maybe they didn't--but unless Japan's copyright system is profoundly different from the US's (which I don't believe it is), you can't copyright ideas. If you could, Akira Kurosawa and Frank Herbert would've gotten together and sued the fuck out of George Lucas when he made Star Wars.

>>86331
News flash: Nothing is original!

>>86334
"Nothing is original" is not an excuse for plagiarism. Influenced by != plagiarism.

That being said, this particular example is probably not plagiarism.

>>86335

"Probably" not plagiarism? The obviously cherry-picked examples all deal with JUST the premise of klk. Seriously everything they mentioned is first episode stuff. Like what's even the plot as of the last episode? Student council prez going on a campaign of conquest while being spied on by her multinational corporation boss mom's top underling and guerrilla revolutionaries. And the hotblood transfer student is doing what exactly? What's she even after any more?

Now I've never read that other manga but I'm just saying I'd be pretty surprised if it went in an even similar direction.

>>86331
Anime is extremely derivative and autoreference itself as a whole a lot, whith often no emphasis on plt and all effort put inthe cast and art direction. It's not really a world of original ideas, but it's hardly plagiarism.

>>86331
>He also compares the controversy to the Kimba - Lion King controversy and claims that the similarities are even more glaring. He speculates that the animators thought they could get away with it because he lives in France, the original work is old and relatively obscure. He accuses the animators of being bereft in "literacy and morals" and wonders whether Kill la Kill can even be called a "work."

Ah ha ha ha, whatta douchebag. He's clearly trying to milk this "controversy" for all its worth.

>>86331
>2 characters have drill hair because drill hair is cute
>PLAGIARISM

is dis nigga serious?

>>86344
I didn't want to believe it at first either, but then he pointed out that his character carried around a RED scarf that belonged to his dead friend, and Ryuuko carries a RED scissor left by her dead father. I mean it's bad enough that scarfs and scissors are practically the same thing because they both start with S, but both of them being RED!?!? I'm sorry, that's just far too much of a coincidence. This is obviously plagiarism of the highest caliber.

we're back tonight!

So... Is Ryuuko going to have to go hang with the nudists now?

>>86366
not if she keeps that totally not forced by the censor underwears that should have been visible under seiketsu

>>86366
She still has her original outfit. Which is my favorite outfit anyway, so that's just fine with me.

>>86372
That outfit or her underwear. Both are fine to me.

>>86372
Funny how her bikini covers more of her boobage than Senketsu does even when she's wearing it under him.

She has a piece of Senketsu, This is gonna be her with the nudists building herself back from scratch and them being apprehensive but needing her to stop the raid trip.

As she acquires Nudest skills and Senketsu she'll be able to match Nui.

Am I the only one who thinks the instrumental version of Blumenkranz sounds vaguely Kajiuran? Might be the combination of piano with bass guitar that she loves.

I really hope that all the patches have portions of Senketsu's personality that help Ryuuko and her portion track them down and lead to weird interactions as the wearers can hear him, too.

Just imagine, Senketsu-powered Elite Four.

>>86385
If it means the guys wearing extremely bizarre looking slutwear then I'm all for it. Especially Gamagoori.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=cNgxyL5zEAk

>>86392
Off topic, but what is the context of that video?

The "shonen protagonist is depressed and refuses to fight" trope was thankfully only half a episode and not annoying. Good going Trigger.

What, no "Stripped of the Will to Fight" sub for this?

>>86395
Nui disguised herself to fuck with Ryuko, like how Mcmann tricked Austin.

>>86400
What i mean is what is the context of the whole Mcmann/Austin thing. I see it referenced quite a bit (even prior to KILK).

>>86397
I'm still sad that Newspaper-kun was such a fun character.

>>86402
There was a character who ran the "Corporate Ministry" called the Greater Power, the reveal was legendary because everyone actually DID buy it.

EVEN MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY BOUGHT IT

>>86402
Same here, gonna miss all the Okamoto shrieks.

You know what I wish Kill la Kill had?

Cool fight scenes.

Like, they're doing brilliant, BRILLIANT things with what feels like the tiniest animation budget ever. But man, kind of a shame they can't pull out the stops more often.

Maybe that'll change in the second half.

>>86402
I'm sure that within a month or two, someone will make a fanfic or fan comic AU that has him be a legitimate character and briefly get a Goku Uniform that basically makes him a KLK version of this guy because westaboo cultural references.

>>86430
Budget is a bitch. The amount of cut corner that show has is extreme and I doubt we'll see much fight scenes except maybe like, Satsuki vs Ryuko final battle and even then I expect rotoscopy and reused sequences. Fighting scenes are just too expensive for their budget.

>>86430
I dunno, the Dangan Ronpa, Jojo, and SnK adaptations only wish they were able to look as good with their limited animation budgets as Kill la Kill does. Though Jojo did try to mix things up a little to hide theirs.

>>86430
>>86439
This is Trigger aka Gainax-lite. I'm not surprised about this. At least the art style lends itself well to the corner cutting.

>>86430
Aren't we getting the TV version, though? So once it hits DVD the animation will be far improved, if this follows the usual trend of anime.

>>86440
>>86441
>>86439
I still can't get over how the Tennis Captain 'turned' in the second episode. God damn.

Senketsu is in pieces. The rest of the show is about Ryuko collecting the pieces and sewing it back together. In the final episode she finishes and it's revealed to be

PANTY

PANTY AND STOCKING SEASON 2

>>86430
Yeah, the slideshows are pretty funny as they are and help add to the show's charm but you'd think that doing so would give them more room to splurge on the fight scenes.

>>86451
They're probably using 40% of the budget on the last two episodes.

>I got ta find out who kill my da

the fuck is this shit

>>86464
What a timely, intelligent post.

>>86466
As expected of Ninja.

>>86444
What are you talking-
OH GOD YES THAT MOMENT. Fucking kills me too.

The compilation movies will fix all the 'stylish' QUALITY, right?

>>86469
>>86444

>>86471
why fix what ain't broke. They are rolling with the fact they have no budget and construct the story and scenes with it in mind. You can't just decide to shoehorn high quality animation here and there without breaking the flow of episodes entirely.

>>86464
You seem pretty stupid.

>>86471
If they got rid of that then Mako would lose like 75% of her cuteness and charm.

wow, today's episode QUALITY is off the chart. Thank god it was a comedy episode.

Do you think he enjoyed it?

>>86489
Man, that entire steak thing made me so goddamn hungry while watching.

>>86489
That scene was awesome. While i wish they used her first outfit, the tracksuit/scarf look is pretty cool.

>>86486
This episode was far too much fun for me to give a shit about the animation quality.

>>86489
Probably.

Feels like they've really dropped the ball lately on music direction. X character appears, they automatically play their theme(s) regardless of whether it really fits the scene or not, even if it was better off without music at all. Did they really need to play 斬LLLア生LL every time Ryuko showed up?

>>86497
I think it was part of the comedy. Ruyko was recollecting the pieces fast and without efforts, so the music loop was kind of there to accentuate the mechanical, boring aspect of it. As long as it doesn't spill in other more serious episodes I'm OK with it.

>>86498
It cracked me up when eventually it just cut off after five notes or so.

>>86499
Yeah, that's what makes me think it was part of the comedy.

Reminiscent of the skit where they continually go to announce a king entering but he never does, so they have to start the announcement again and again and eventually just wait until he's walked half way in before starting.

>>86498
I guess, but the standard leitmotif playing when a character appears has been going on for a while now. Whenever Ragyo shows up you can near guarantee that Blumenkrantz will be playing and vice versa, compared to how Ping Pong Circulate would also show up for Mikisugi's scenes.

Streaming some KLK right now

get in here

>America shows up

That might have actually been my favorite episode.

Ryuko's current look is fucking great, I'm so sad we'll have to go back to the shit Kamui form.

>>86516
Though a lot of people are thinking Senketsu is going to get a new design after next epsiode and after that a new OP

>>86517
>Though a lot of people are thinking Senketsu is going to get a new design after next epsiode and after that a new OP
I'm not entirely sure why people are thinking that. Even if the new op has a spoiler, that could be anything from a dead character to Satsuki's missing an arm with new outfit change in the middle. Also, I thought the new op was because of the tone shift?

>Subs won't be out until later in the evening
I swear Crunchy roll does this on purpose whenever it's an end of an arc.

>Ryuuko makes it clear that she refuses to kill

...okay.

>>86596
Umm, what? She was just about to stab Satsuki in the throat before she got stalemated.

Oh wow. Didn't catch that while watching.

everything happening was expected except Nudist Beach being complete jobbers. and once again Satsuki hides being a keikakku doori which is disappointing at this stage of the story. We are 15 episodes in, she had 3 major battles with the MC, each getting harder thant he former, and she still acts like in episode1. Mako's family has more character development than her goddamn.

>>86606
Well, yeah. That happens with people that are as fucking arrogant and self-absorbed as her. There's no gradual change, slowly realizing she might be doing something wrong. It needs a big fucking wake up bitch slap to maybe get these kind of people out of their state of mind and Ryuuko's still not good enough to deliver that.

>>86606

Satsuki doesn't need any character development though, she's already perfect. That's like saying Doctor Doom needs character development.

I'm getting really tired of Satsuki, NB was a total disappointment, and with that let down of an ending I'm brought down from enjoying most of the episode to being upset that we're probably not getting more Takarada or Ryuko's sweet biker look.

At least it seems we're FINALLY heading for part 2 next episode.

>>86610
Doom got humbled down by a newbie character recently, it wasn't pretty.

>>86617

>>86610
>>86617
>>86619
It was fucking awesome.

I know that must be hard to see for the poor, unfortunate souls that sympathize and identify with Victor. But he got what he deserved.

And Lang isn't a newbie character, casual.

Satsuki needs a beatdown too. There are 9 episodes left, and that needs to happen if fans of hers want that team-up or character development. She's pretty much Aizen and Dio-tier asspull lucky right now.

>>86624
Yeah She's long overdue for a humbling defeat.

Still hoping Mom wrecks her shit and she has to go to Ryuko for help.

>>86616
The new armors look sweet.

D'aww, Gamagoori has a soft spot for Mako. Ryuko should have totally kept the sword; but I guess this series isn't as far off the beaten path as I'd hoped.

>>86625
Agreed.

>>86626
Except for Inamuta's; I get the whole 16 bit/digital reference, but I think it's stupid. :/

Satsuki using Nonon as a human Goblin-Glider made me unreasonably giddy, especially since it made me think of that old "Real men ride each other" joke from Super Robot Wars.

>>86616
>I'm getting really tired of Satsuki

Unflinching stoicism+effortless victory inevitably stops being intimidating and just starts being boring. Moreover, since Nui showed up, any further hype for Honnouji has felt kind of pointless. It just seems like it's just going to make whatever is planned with the Kiryuin Conglomerate more rushed.

It's not nearly as bad when the fights are entertaining in of themselves (like BEEF TANK MASSACRE, or poorly animated mobs pushing shoving each other back like they were giant bricks), but Satsuki scaring everyone away by looking at them and Nudist Beach getting their base blown up when were weren't looking were not.

>>86617
>>86624
>>86624
Let's try to keep on topic.

>>86627
if inumata was 16bit he would look like a Super nintendo 2D sprite, which would look better imo

>>86610
I feel like you've really nailed it with that comparison. Like, I'm not saying it wouldn't be a valid option, but Doom does not need character growth; Doom is already great, and needs 1: opportunities to demonstrate character depth, and 2: exposition that better outlines the *context* of how they became Doom and why Doom is doing whatever they do.

Like, the majority of the times that Satsuki has appeared onscreen, it has been to make a decision as leader and/or give orders. I've often found those decisions very interesting. She let Mako earn wealth and status, and the results ably demonstrated what her rhetoric was getting at. She ripped into Ira and Uzu with succinct breakdowns of their faults, but was also just as quick to praise them when they'd earned it and immediately tells them not to be ashamed when they've lost due to factors beyond their control (rather than saying DO NOT FAIL ME AGAIN YOU DESPICABLE WORM).

I feel like Trigger's having some trouble with the delivery on her Xanatos gambits (i.e. compared to how it was done with the original Xanatos), such as how the entire Nudist Beach base was apparently destroyed with a single missile salvo rather than her revealing that various moments throughout episode were being done to achieve that objective. Satsuki will wear down quick if she becomes style over substance, and in 14-15 her substance wasn't very substantive.

>>86624

>Scott Lang beating Doom
>monologues the entire time
>has doom whimpering about his mask
>thinking this is "awesome" or even good writing

This is exactly like what they did with Pym. Trying way too fucking hard to make him seem "awesome," and giving everyone around them the idiot ball. Guess what, it doesn't work. If anything it reinforces the idea in people's minds that they can't be good characters.

At any rate, who says Satsuki will join Ryuuko? It seems far more likely that Satsuki is grooming Ryuuko to be a worthy partner to help her overall plan, what with how she repeatedly intervened to prevent the High Tailor from killing Ryuuko.

>>86627
Yeah the old one was way cooler, not to mention it was surprisingly fanservicey for a male costume and helped even things out a little.

>>86637
The most disappointing thing about this episode was that he won't be contorting himself while in a skintight suit anymore

>>86636
Get off of Doom's dick.

>>86639
Not giving a shit about Doom I read that to see what it was like.

It's REAL BAD, like it's really awful writing that SCREAMS trying WAY too hard.

>>86639
Why bring that shitty maymay there? Don't you have other place to shitpost like that?

>>86641
...What the hell is a maymay?

>>86639

It was as bad as when Black Panther arm-locked the Silver Surfer.

>>86634
>1: opportunities to demonstrate character depth, and 2: exposition that better outlines the *context* of how they became Doom and why Doom is doing whatever they do.
This seems pretty spot on, since it also applies to Iroh, the other greatest static character.

So while I'm as miffed as everybody else about Satsuki turning into a villainsue at the end and it ruining the rest of the episode, can we just talk about how friggin' adorable it was seeing Senketsu hop around like that?

>>86642
A really shitty meme.

>>86650
I'm disapointed she doesn't need to strip her old clothed to transform now. The power of cheap animation I guess.

>>86650
The more it goes the more senketsu looks like a pokemon.

http://imgur.com/a/8CRxf/all

Everybody pack it in, we got what we needed from KLK.

>>86659
Now I wanna see the reverse. It's not like Raiden isn't already running around with his shiny metal ass out as it is.

>>86653
Yeah, I was expecting a funny scene of her throwing her clothes off to put on Senketsu and Gamagoori getting mad while Jazakure goes "so promiscuous, ~oho~"

Blumenkanye - Kanye West vs. Hiroyuki Sawano

>>86664
I wish transformed Junketsu looked more like Rainbow Bitch's getup. It shows off a lot of skin but manages to make her still look imposing/cool/sexy without being stupid.

Oh man I love these two, they're so adorable together.

Yes, but Rainbow Bitch's outfit isn't a parody of magical girl outfits, and Kill La Kill is a parody of magical girl animes.

>>86672
Satsuki rides Nonon like the Green Goblin's glider. I guess she also used her shoulder hook like Spider man's webs sort of.

>>86667
>-The ED changed from red to blue because it changed from Ryuuko's veins to Ryuuko's arteries. Ryuuko was fueled by burning red, now she is powered by warm blue.
Huh? Shouldn't it it be the other way around? It's arteries that pump red blood and veins that pump blue.

HOW DOES THIS WORK
HE HAS NO DICK

>>86684
It's his handbag. You know, for storing hands in.

This show is neither well written nor well animated

/a/ said it was saving anime. Did they... did they lie to me?

>>86731
Maybe it's just not your thing, shitpost-senpai ~

>>86732
Why don't you call troll while you are at it.
If you want a circlejerk start your own forum where you can ban anyone who disagrees with you.

>>86734

>shitpost
>get called out on it
>retort with "circlejerk"

Only the highest quality anonymous posting here, I see.

>>86749
So you don't actually defend the writing or the limited animation, you just try to drown people out with insults instead because they don't like the show you do.
Thats what you are doing.

>>86750

I don't need to defend an anime show from an anonymous poster on the internet, no. I do enjoy insulting idiots from /a/, though.

>>86750
If you don't like the show then why bother posting in a thread about it? There are plenty of shows I don't like and because I don't like them I don't waste my time discussing those shows.

>>86751
you clearly do feel the need to defend yourself which is why you keep replying in an aggressive fashion.

offtopic sage

STOP ARGUING ABOUT SHITPOSTING, SHITPOSTING ABOUT SHITPOSTERS IS STILL SHITPOSTING.

INSTEAD LOOK AT THIS THING IT IS CUTE

>>86756
God these two are so cute.

>>86760
Man, I hope Satsuki and the Elite Four go good and team up with Ryuko. Then Mako can get a two star uniform and combine with Gamagoori to make Mako Sheeva.

>>86756
Yeah, what Junk said.
Also, shut up everyone and watch this!

If only.

If they could do Touhou and TF2 then surely they can do Kill la Killing Floor too.

Spoilered for Rape

>>86776
finally, anime is saved.

I know bit characters developing massive fandoms isn't out of the ordinary, but it's still weird every time. People are goddamn obsessed with this dude.

>>86783
Well I mean....just look at him.

Well, anybody who didn't think nudity was a central and important theme looks dumb now.

>>86786
No, now it's just X-O Manowar.

Super suit from outer space=winning

What happened to HorribleSubs? Usually they're out long before now.

Out of all the revelations this episode, the only thing that really shocked me was that all of the chakra speculation was dead on.

>>86786
Yeah it's an important part of the theme of "Imaishi is a creeper." Highly fetishized mother-daughter rape, ONLY THE CLASSIEST FROM STUDIO TRIGGER

>>86789
HS isn't a sub group, they just have a bot that rips Crunchyroll's subs. CR delayed their subs, so no Horrible release.

Now that's how you do a recap episode.

>>86215
>>86216
>>86228
Sure is satirical in this show. Mmmm…parody, very intelligent.

Life Fibers are Getter Rays then. Not shocking, considering how Ryuko's dad looks and and that Spiral Power was ALSO Getter Rays.

And yeah that bath scene was super uncomfortable but the way it's shot comes off as "man isn't this the sexiest!?"

I'm confused, when did Senketsu ever view fellow clothing as his brethren? Ryuko's outburst seemed a bit out of place.

>>86794

No one said parody had to be classy or intelligent. Just that is what they were going for.

A little off-topic but oh my god

>>86796
did you miss the last episode or something? Rykhu is having her first girl crush on senketsu.

Not sure I like the turns of events. They went from micro events (satsuki and ryuko's personality clash) to macro (aliens conquer the world) in 10 minutes, and I fear it hurts the characters before they were fully fleshed out. Since all "big" plots always tend to take the spotlight. With only 8 episodes left I'm not sure we will see stuff like the elite 4 or Mako family being relevant anymore.

I thought this bit was kind of foreboding. What's the chance that he gets corrupted by the end or something?

So has anyone pointed out that Trigger hinted at this twist in episode 1?

>>86810
Which one? This was basically Exposition: The Episode.

>>86794
It a tad disturbing when incestual sexual abuse is played for fanservice

>>86813
I was thinking how in the first scene there's that one kid playing with Marvel action figures, and some of the biggest twists in this episode have direct parallels in the Marvel Universe.

>>86815
>It a tad disturbing when incestual sexual abuse is played for fanservice
What part of their relationship seemed abusive to you? Yes, that scene was highly sexual (and for that reason creepy as heck), but I wouldn't go nearly as far as some others here have and call it rape.

>>86817
You are actually trying to defend incest from parent towards child.

>>86800
I agree, a bit. ALIENS was pretty out of left field, though they didn't really build up what Life Fibers were until now so they could have really gone with anything. In fact, I bet that once Ryuko puts Senketsu back on we'll barely hear about it again.

>>86819
Satsuki is 18; so the incest is legal, though disturbing. I'm more disturbed by the amount of power that Rainbow Bitches has over Satsuki, with or without the familial connection...

...but not that disturbed, as I expect at least two doujins out of that scene. If it doesn't happen I will lose all faith in Japan.

>>86817
Seriously, it's not. She's technically just giving her a massage, but the rapey vibes are mostly there because the animators think it's like totally hawt. It's not pleasant to watch, and it definitely upset me personally, but people ought to remember that subtext is not actually text. The SJW really need to stop acting like the show portrayed literal outright rape and pretending that people who aren't morally outraged to the extreme by this scene are all pro-rape misogynists/sex traitors. If the show gives any indication that Satsuki actually feels violated by her mom's actions then of course things will be different, but as it stands now the scene is just a reflection of the staff's twisted sense of what they find sexy (or a demonstration of Ragyo's wicket nature).

Her mother being controlling and abusive didn't start at this scene.

I will "defend" it as not being rape or sexual abuse, but that doesn't mean I find it appropriate. It just bugged me that people were making a big deal about it being something that it isn't. It was some kind of deep therapeutic massage with strong sexual overtones. I could have gone without it regardless of who was involved, and the fact that it was a mother/daughter thing made it even more uncomfortable, but it wasn't rape and it wasn't sexual abuse.

>I will "defend" it as not being rape or sexual abuse
This is already unacceptably wrong. pls stop
